I disclose that I can see your activity, bit realistically it’s so I can see how the encoding process is half a world away. They don’t seem to complain about the quality so seems good to go for me.

Also I wish they sent me notes of which shows has offset subtitles. Can’t watch them all myself

I rsync everything with ssh keys.

Really easy to do.

I use ssh keys… And some firewall rules.

I do have an internet only and a LAN only VLAN at least.

I have vital data with a friend who is also in a different continent. But we share some stuff. That one is only 16tb. And on a Pi, unsure how long that thing will last

My cloud is at my parent’s house in a different continent.

48tb of my own data and hardware.

Monitors and PSUs I found haven’t really increased in price.

Might pickup a new monitor after 10 years from my last upgrade.

I’ve bought mine off TheArtofServer. You can ask the seller questions and they’ll happily help. Not to shill but the guy is super passionate about the HBA business.

I currently went overboard and got a tri mode LSI which is quite pricey. But it allows me to mix and match SATA, SAS, and U.2/3

Broadcom 9500-8i Tri-Mode is the model.

For sas and sata only I have a LSI 9305-16i for my big server. The 9305 runs quite cooler, but you pay more upfront.

Yes. When sharing the link you have the option to allow people to upload using that link.

Pretty much I have caddy on a VPS that’s pointing to my internal IP using a tailscale tunnel. You are still exposing the web gui to the Internet so I just changed authentication to OAuth to mitigate since risk. There is still a possibility of attacks via zero days, but my immich is on a VM and I’m creating firewall rules to just allow certain ports out.
